I wish I had that kind of equipment and capability. I've thought of replacing my N55 with a "new" one with a few less miles (it has 193,700 today). But I'd need an engine crane and a lot more know-how! But I'd definitely try to fit a bigger engine in rather than the same.

In a moment of weakness I listed the E30 for sale after receiving some news from my 2nd employer that made me consider quitting. I went downstairs, spent about 15 seconds looking at it, then pulled the ad off Craigslist.
Probably going to push back my modifications plan, but I can't bear to part with it.

Do we know anyone here on the forum that enjoys removing e30 engines for a drastic overhaul, cleaning, and/or potential rebuild/stroker job?
I'm not the most mechanically capable guy ever, and I don't have the space, tools, or confidence to do something like this myself..
I feel like this is my calling
I mean, I have been called a competent shop before...Will require snakes on my neck during timing belt work tho

Anyone have big plans this weekend?

I'm moving. Wanna help?
j/k, I've moved 2 compact loads so far, and I think I'm about 25% done. I don't have that much stuff.

I paid $3600 for it! The lady had a bunch of maintenance done recently and had it detailed for me before showing it. She's owned it for 12 years and I talked to the mechanic who worked on it at The Family Mechanic and he vouched for the vehicle. I feel pretty good about it and my wofe hates it. She said "I thought the xc70 was a short suv.... not a WAGON!"

It's a lifted wagon, same as all the other P2 cars just higher. My wife's complaint about ours is poor visibility over your left shoulder because of the B pillar and head rest. The price you pay for safety I guess. Is that your wife's issue?
If the front sub frame bushings are loose get the Kaplhenke delrin ones. They really make the car feel a lot better. And as long as your engine mounts are stock and in good condition it does not affect NVH.

My wife's problem is that she is wagon averse. She absolutely hates them, can't stand the sight of a wagon. Wait until she see's how practical this thing is!

For $3600, you can't go wrong! Sometimes if it annoys the wife, that's just an added "feature". My wife hates my 335's because "they're too fast!!" LOL. Maybe that's what drove me to own two of them! Haha.
